I think you meant dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --purge irda-common, but that returned.. Removing irda-common ... Stopping IrDA Manager: dpkg: error processing irda-common (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Stopping irmanager... Stopping IrDA Manager: dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: irda-common Now I just checked the boot messages and saw this... Starting IrDA Manager: sh: /proc/sys/net/irda/devname: No such file or directory irmanager. irmanager is installed, but there isn't an entry in /proc/sys/net for irda. Could this be the reason? --Hans
